Stuielooie Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 15 hours ago, Ivo said: ben howard is now called that? Apparently so. For a band that has not released any material, and to be high up on the positioning of this festival and latitude it needs to include him and not just be 'the first band on his label'. Looking at the Ben Howard reddit, apparently he hasn't liked the attention being fully on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now being 23 I'm still not interested in listening to people read, when I want to go for a full day of music. All the stands seem to look very quirky, and there's quite a lot of family activities too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair, it's probably due to the band changing their minds about doing other shows, and FR being nice enough to allow it/them rather than hold the band to the contract they signed. I know from various stuff that Melvin genuinely wants exclusives and books bands on that basis - but then he's a bastard cos it turns out not to be true, and he'd be a bastard if he held the band to their contract and stopped them playing other shows. It's one of those things where he loses, sort-of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfko Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Got my ticket for this along with 3 eager chums as soon as Foals were announced. Absolutely dying to see them live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuielooie Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 So 'A blaze of feather' just had their first track played on Radio 1 - Carousel. Sounded quite interesting.. Apparently its Mikey Smith (Ben Howards old guitarist) being backed by Ben Howard and his band.. I guess they are just using Ben Howard as marketing to get easier publicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, can't wait for this! Get the impression this is the last we'll see from them for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyGooner Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm keen to go to this, love Foals and Bonobo. I saw that last year ticketmaster had a promotion deal, http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/promo/fhwowm Does anyone know if this event usually sells out or if I hang on I'm likely to get more of a deal on a ticket?

They struggled to give away tickets last year whereas this time I think it ran straight through to the final pricing tier when it was just Foals announced (tho it's still not sold out) so I think it's a lot less likely there'll be cheapies and time is running out.

Went to Lovebox last year which is held on the Fri and Sat of that weekend and it was the tightest security I've ever seen in my 20+ years of festival going. Two bag searches and frisks and dogs. Have a couple in the pub across the road first as the beer is bottled and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Some competitions popping up. They're starting later than last year but they went hell for leather trying to push tickets out last time so worth keeping an eye on if you ain't got a ticket yet.

ND404 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hey guys! none of my mates want to go to Citadel this year so I was wondering if anyone wants to meet up? If you're going alone and wouldn't mind some extra company, let me know! Thrilled to see Bonobo and Michael Kiwanuka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadeinout Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 So, I'll be honest, I'm only really up for seeing Foals on Sunday at Citadel, but can anyone let me know who else I should see and if it's worth getting there at a certain time.
